STEPS: Around 40% of people who sleep rough each year are estimated to be migrants [BEN STEVENS/ I-IMAGES]

Westminster – where Grosvenor Place is located – saw a 17% increase in homelessness between April 2014 and March 2014.

The migrants were pictured at a private property on the swanky road.

A Westminster City Council spokesman said: "As this is private land, the council has no power to move people on but we will work with the leaseholders to support and advise them on a suitable resolution.

"We take this issue very seriously and commission outreach teams in the area to ensure the welfare and safety of those in genuine need of help."
